Great Product

Once again The Ordinary line does not disappoint. This foundation goes on smooth and lasts over 12 hours. The quality of my skin has improved since I have started using it. This is not a full coverage foundation, it is more light to medium coverage which I prefer.

THIS IS NOT A PINK TONED FOUNDATION - IT IS PURE YELLOW

Horribly quality color. I ordered 1.2P color which is supposed to be pink undertoned, and this is pure orange/yellow. The color is hideous and I was actually extremely surprised at how bad it was. It was obvious right away when you pump the bottle, and even if you look at the bottle tone itself it is not pink toned at all.
Looked awful and made me look sickly/ have awful demarcation at my chin line. The foundation itself is a nice matte finish but still did not withstand true oily skin and fell short by a few hours into the day.
You get what you pay for!!!

Finally

I do a lot of online shopping and almost never write reviews. I also have a small collection of foundations. I had to write one for this because I love this foundation! Feels lights on the skin. Doesn’t look like makeup. Gives me just a enough coverage to even out my skin tone. It doesn’t settle into my fine lines or accentuate uneven texture.

I wish it was ordinary

This foundation does not agree with me at all. After I started using it my skin became red, itchy, dry, and breaking out. I didn't know which product it was at the time. Took me several weeks to figure it out after I stopped using everything, washed my scarves, and then slowly started putting products back into my routine. I love the coverage and the color blends well. But I break out and get ridiculously itchy.
